“So,” Todd said as we floated in the ocean, “update me. Company’s good. Things with Stella must be good. Anything else happening?”
“I’m moving the office spaces for the company to above the store, so we’re easily accessible to our employees. Oh, and I signed our first recurring client Monday,” I said.
“Dude, you’re really rockin’ this thing. Any other run-ins with Greyson?” he asked.
I bristled at the mere mention of his name, and Todd caught my reaction. He glanced over as the waves became choppier underneath us, and I was glad when I saw Todd position himself on his board.
“Just pretend this wave is his face, and scrape the hell out of it with your board,” he said.
I gave a hearty laugh at the thought.
We rode the wave for a while before it threw me from my board, and I came up gasping for air. The water was ice cold, and it ripped the breath from my lungs. I shivered as I got back up on my board, and I scanned the water looking for Todd. I saw his board pop up from the water before he came up gasping for air, and I laughed as I paddled over to him.
“Holy shit, this water’s cold,” he said.
“That’s what you get for wanting to surf in an area that’s covered in shade 80 percent of the day,” I said.
“But the waves are awesome here today. We’ll deal,” he said.
“Greyson’s a dick, and I think he’s gone for good, thank shit. Stella had no business being with a dude like that,” I said.
“Well, I know you’re sleeping easier at night. Speaking of which, I’m sleeping a bit easier, too.”
“Oh, really?” I asked. “How so?”
“Happens when a beautiful woman wants to entice you,” he said, smirking.
“No, shit. Meet her at another one of your parties?” I asked.
“Oh, yeah. Her tits are the perfect handful, and her ass goes on for days. And the way she moves in bed. Oh, fuck, dude. She’s incredible.”
“Sounds like you’re in love,” I said.
“Fuck no, man. Nowhere near it. She sucks great cock and has the tightest pussy I’ve had in a while, though,” he said.
“How long she been around?” I asked.
“A week. I’m taking her to a party tonight,” he said.
“Ah, well. Tell her I said goodbye. It was fun while it lasted.”
Todd shoved me off my board as I went under laughing. But, I was glad he’d brought the subject up. I wasn’t sure how I was going to segue into sex or anything like it, and I really wanted his opinion on the general situation.
I climbed back up on my board as the waves smoothed out below our boards, and I drew in a deep breath before I started talking.
“So, not going out as much means I’m either studying or watching television in my spare time,” I said.
“Sounds absolutely terrible. Anything interesting on TV?” he asked.
“The shows on there now are insane. Did you know there’s an entire show dedicated to weird sexual fetishes?” I asked.
“What kind of television are you watching?” he asked.
“The kind that comes on at 2 in the morning. That’s not the point. The point is, there was something on there that caught my attention,” I said.
“I’m not shoving a light bulb up your asshole, dude,” he said.
“Wait, what?”
